Spring Fever


(oil on canvas gallery wrap, 14x18)
SOLD

I must admit to Spring Fever.  While the N.E. is still under "tons" of snow; Tucson is acting like Spring.  Wildflowers are popping up and weeds are growing like crazy. Even the little desert ground squirrels are coming out of hibernation to play and scamper across our yard.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

Hanging Out 6x6 (mixed media on canvas board)



(Mixed Media on Canvas Board 6X6)
(Comment to me to purchase). $80

I found this interesting paint called "Metal Effects" from Modern Masters
This one is "oxidizing copper paint" which oxidizes when a "patina aging solution" is applied over the copper.  I experimented with several canvases using various applications.  
I then painted this little lizard over the patina copper canvas board.  But the background competes with the focal object for your attention.  He just didn't show up very well.
So I added the extra markings and outlined the little fella with a black marker.
I liked the way he turned out in the end.  I'm going to do more of these patina/copper canvases.
